Types of Dentures

You can get the following types of dentures at Londonderry Denture Clinic in North Edmonton, depending on how many teeth you are missing and the general condition of your oral health:

Complete dentures
These are dentures made to replace all missing natural teeth. Complete dentures are typically used to replace the complete upper or lower set. In some cases, these dentures are also used to replace the complete set of teeth. These are a lifesaver for people who have lost all their teeth naturally or due to some accident.
Replacement dentures
Replacement dentures are likely your second and, in some cases, the third or fourth set of dentures. In most cases, you are familiar with some of the problems associated with wearing artificial teeth. It becomes necessary to replace dentures primarily because of changes to gum ridges as we age and wear to artificial tooth surfaces.

The frequency of replacing your existing dentures will directly impact how easily you adjust to a new denture. For instance, if dentures are replaced every 5 to 7 years, making the transition to a new denture relatively easy but waiting for 10 to 20 years or more before replacing your dentures will make adjusting to your new dentures extremely difficult in most cases.
Partial dentures
A partial denture is a removable dental device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is essential to develop an attractive smile and to restore function to where missing teeth once were.

A metal framework is designed and cast to fit precisely around the remaining natural teeth. It is typically held in place with metal clasps. Artificial teeth are then anchored to this frame to provide the appearance and function of the missing natural teeth.

We also offer precision dentures and denture repair services at our clinic in North Edmonton.

Issues Caused by Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can be more than a cosmetic problem. When teeth are missing, the following issues may arise:

It affects biting and chewing.
Adjacent natural teeth may drift into the space left by the missing teeth and cause damage to the surrounding tissues.
Missing teeth can also affect the shape of your face and the clarity of your speech.

Caring for Your Partial Denture

Your denturist will recommend how long to wear your new set of removable dentures following the initial installation. For the first few weeks, your new partial denture may feel somewhat uncomfortable, but with the necessary adjustments to your set, you will quickly adapt and feel more comfortable. Removing and inserting your denture will take a little practice, but you will soon get the hang of it with help from your denturist. While inserting your denture, you must be careful not to partially place it and then bite down to move it into position. This can easily damage or bend the denture, which can affect your denture’s fit and function, rendering it useless.

Replacing Your Partial Dentures

How often you should replace your partial denture depends on several factors, especially the changes your mouth undergoes over time. Bone and gum ridges recede, one or more natural teeth may need to be removed, clasps can break off, and age takes its toll. All of these things contribute to how often you will need to replace your partial denture.

Partial dentures don't require you to undergo any large, invasive operations.

Partial dentures are usually durable as long as it's made to fit a solid foundation. Damaged or decaying teeth must be removed and fitted with a temporary option while the gums can heal for about 6 months. Your denturist will then create a set of partial dentures that will be permanent.
Removable
You can remove partial dentures to keep your set and mouth clean. This is also useful if you need to adjust your partial denture to fit your jaw comfortably at every stage in life.

Before a person begins treatment for a partial denture, they must have a complete and comprehensive assessment of the remaining natural teeth done by a dentist. This is to determine that the remaining natural teeth can, in fact, support a partial denture and that all repairs to natural teeth are completed.
